Former Head Nigger in Charge. When a black
person who was considered by some (and usually only himself) to be the
HNIC (Head Nigger In Charge) is toppled from his self appointed position, usually due to his own shortcomings and greed. Another "HNIC"
will usually self-appoint themselves after such toppling occurs.
"Man, Tony was
da HNIC! If he diddnt turn into a nigger genius, he would still have
da crown! Now he's just the FHNIC.
